Geography and Population The Republic of Seychelles is an island nation that lies more than 1,500 km from the east coast of Africa and north of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. Its 155 scattered islands have a combined land area of 455 sqkm with an exclusive economic zone of 200 nm. The islands fall into two main physical types. The islands of the central group, including the main island ‘Mahé’, are formed from granite and consist of a mountainous heart surrounded by a flat coastal strip. The “Outer Islands” are made up of coral accretions at various stages of formation, from reefs to atolls. These are generally smaller and almost entirely flat, lying only a few meters above sea level. The majority of these islands have no water, and only a few are inhabited. The three main islands, housing nearly the entire population, are deemed the “Inner Islands” and include: Mahé, Praslin, and La Digue.
